EFFECTS OF THE BLOW.
Consider able Damage Done by Thursda
Nights Wind Storm.

Considerable Damage Done by Thursday
Nights Wind Storm.
The incipient cyclone which ragged in
this section of the country during the first
half of Thursday night seems to have done
a very considerable amount of damage at
surrounding exposed points. No loss OF
moment was occasioned inside the city
proper, if we except the blowing down of
the bill boards at Twenty-second and Main
streets, and the scattering OF few loose
shingles, owing to the shelter afforded by
the surrounding hills, but out Of town
points did not escape so easily.
On the Ed. Larkin farm, near Short
Creek, now owned by Mr.. j. c. Thomas
and occupied by Mr. Edward Miller, the
large basn was literally torn to pieces and
the debris scattered over a wide area OF
country. About thirty or forty head OF
stock were in the building at the time, but
all the animals escaped.
On the ridge back of the Stone Meeting
House, several hay ricks and straw stacks
were blown down, while the fences in the
vicinity were scattered in all directions.
At Elm Grove two windows in Mrs.
Arndt's residence were blown in, and two
or three chimneys in various parts of the
town were demolished.
At Moundsvile Charles Jasper's stable
was blown down, and buggy in the edi-
flee was ruined.
Out the Il. & .. road the storm was
particularly severe. At Burton some lit
tie damage was done At LittletOn two
stables were demolished, saw mill blown
down and lumber badly scattered. At
Board Tree, the Catholic church was badly
skewed around. At Cogley's Station,
near Cameron, the roof of Mr.. OTIS resi-
dence WIS blown Off
Down the river there WAS considerable
damage, at Mason City fire in the Hope
Salt Works being famed by the wind into
a furious conaagration which destroyed
$50, 600 worth Of property and for time
threatened the destruction of large por-
tiOn of the town.
Doubtless, other damage was done in
isolated parts Of the surrounding country
which has not yet been reported.

FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
A Progtessive Committee Organized by 81
Louis Knights of Labor.

Progressive Committee Organized by st.
Louis Knights Of Labor.
ST. LOUIS, March 25.-It was announc-
ed here this morning, as fact not gener-
ally known, that the Knights of Labor
have branch organization known as the
Progressive Committee, composed of dele
gates from the Knights of Labor, but in n
measure maintaining separate existence,
inasmuch as it has general supervision of
the whole body, and is sometimes called
the Committee Of Safety.
One peculiar feature Of this committees
work is the handling of the political stu
alton as at affects the Knights of Labor.
1t meets in this city on Sunday morning
of each week, and reviews the political
situation. Whatever this body decides
upon Is law for the succeeding week and
all action on the political field is under its
immediate control and general direction.
How many of the labor unions outside
of the Knights are represented in this
CAmmittee of Safety is unknown outside
Orthe order. For some time past the idea
of bringing the trades and labor unions
into this political committee has been in
the minds Of the leaders of the order. 1t
was thought that if the trades and labor
unions could be induced to send delegates
it would greatly add to the power of
the Progressive Committee Last
night was understood to be the
time when an effort would be
made TO bring the matter to n crisis. If
the delegates could be brought to the point
of sending in the representatives from the
consolidated organization of the unions of
the city, of course it would CARRY the mem
bers of all the unions in q body TO act
politically according to the directions of
the Safety Committee, and a power would
be placed in the hands of this body that
could be used for the turtherance of its
ideas that would be almost irresistible.
A meeting was held last night and il is
said that all the unions in the city were
represented, but no definite information
has yet transpired. 1t is admitted, how
ever, that important business was trans
acted, and while it is not known that any
political action was taken, it seems evident
that the matter was discussed and that
some preliminary move in the direction in
dicated was made.

A FINE SHOWING
Made by the PewiLy Railroad During the
Past Year.

Past Year.
The stockholders of the p, w. & Ky.
Railroad company have reelected the old
Board of Directors, composed of Messrs.
c. d. HubbaId, John Mcclure and NJ.
Reilly, of this city; II. G. Lazear, of la
zearville, o.. and VIM. Thaw and T. ID.
Messler, of Pittsburg, TO serve for the en-
suing year. The report Of President G. ID.
Hubbard shows the road to be in n very
flattering condition. During 1886 the
gross earnings were Sl6O. s7667, and the
operating expenses 500, ,O269s. To this
latter item l3,1s7.is is 10 he added for
cost of equipment, making the total $l09,-
2l446. The net earnings were thus
$jl, ,662. 81. There is also a balance due
the company from the lessee OF $40, ,5Il.s9,
carried over from 1895, making grand
total of S62. .204. 10. OF the net earnings
of $5l ,662. II, S3s, l33. 55 was paid on ac-
count of interest aud sinking fund, leaving
S22, ,Ol7.2l after the payment Of all fixed
charges, or about 5per cent on the stock.
On March 5th the Board Of Directors de-
clared dividend of2l per cent, payable
on and after Thursday last.
The marked increase Of ~, ,Ol 40 IN
the earnings Of the road comes principally
from the Increase in freigt traffic, there
having been an actual loss Of S726.97 In
passenger traffic. The per cent. of the to-
oal. increase is 26.70 very handsome
showing. The increase in the expenses OF
the company during the year was 81, 293..
~. During the year 423,57s tons OF
freight were carried, ana the number Of
passengers was lO7, 40. The increase in
the tonnage WAS l3l, ,3a7 tons, or 44.9l
per cent, and the increase in passengers
I, 3S3, or 30 per cent.
The additional requirements OF y. W. n
Ky. and the Ohio River roads, have made
necessary large increase in the size Of the
passenger depot, the erection Of new
bridge across the creek, west Of the present
one, and the building Of new track south
Of the creek. Work will be commenced a.
soon as possible OH these improve ments.
President Hubbard il Of the opinion that
the extension OF the Ohio River Road 10
Huntington and connecting there with
the new line 10 the South and West will
make the line OF much greater importance
in the future, and soon elevate it from a
local road to the dignity Of n through
line.
The management Of the Pewiky Is Ger
tainly in very able hands, and there Is no
doubt that the next statement will be even
more fiattering than the one just made, a.
business is increasing right along, particu-
laTly 10 the matter OF freight
